Rupert Picken, a longtime Quintessence friend from England, pointed us to a temporary download page where the original taper, a guy called Muck Krieger, made this tape available for download. The sound quality of this so-called Highdelberg Tape is fine indeed, the music however is a bit different - the vocals are pretty weak - but the overall atmosphere is great. Why is the music different, you may ask? Well, by sacking singer Shiva and rhythm guitarist Maha Dev in early summer of that year, Quintessence shot itself in both knees and lost most of what distinguished them from other bands of the time for ever: a great singer and frontman with a unique musical vision and an aura of spirituality about him, and a rhythm player driving along procedures with a sure hand.
